They are popping up used these days with warranties from Leica USA. I mean, all this talk about how bad it is, yet how good Leica is, yet you still use a Nikon that the sensor in the M8 can walk around. Yeah, M8 and M9 are not good at ISO 64000 but then again, Tri-X never was either. That's why you got fast Leica lenses and learned how to hold still. The RF is inherently easier to hold still regardless because of lack of blackout during exposure. You should give yourself the chance to experience the digital RF, Mark and see how it really works. Also give yourself the chance to experience some true gems like the 35mm f/1.2 and other very innovative glass from Cosina. You're just cheating yourself by making excuses about how the company you love is doing some things right but not others. Actually pick up one of those cameras and find out for yourself. Phil Forrest
